It’s finally here! EURO 2020 is underway, your Fantasy teams have been finalised and you’re most likely sitting back to watch Italy v Turkey.

And by now you’re already lamenting picking that bargain-bin North Macedonia defender or ruing your decision to overlook Cristiano Ronaldo.

While the tournament-long Fantasy games are already up and running, FanTeam have their weekly €100k Monster event to look forward to this weekend.

That’s right – there is a cool €100,000 in the prize pot, with €20k going to the winner and cash prizes awarded down to 1,150th place.

All six EURO 2020 fixtures taking place on Saturday and Sunday are covered by this event, including England v Croatia.

HOW TO PLAY: A BRIEF GUIDE

Slightly different from the usual squad-based games, FanTeam managers are given a budget of €103m to build a team of 11 players that includes at least one goalkeeper, three defenders, two midfielders and one forward.

A maximum of three players are allowed from one country and captains score double points, as usual.

Here are some other minor differences to the otherwise easy-to-play game:

  • There is no bench or manual substitutes; instead, there is a ‘Safety Net’ feature. If a player in your Fantasy team isn’t in the starting XI for their side, they will automatically be substituted for the next priced player from the same position and country.
  • A ‘Stacking Penalty’ is given if you have two or more defensive players from the same nation and they keep a clean sheet. One point is deducted for each additional asset that you select from the same side.

HOW DOES THE SCORING WORK?

FPL managers looking for a way to make their knowledge pay will have no trouble picking up FanTeam‘s EURO 2020 Monster, with its familiar scoring system.

Think of it as FPL without the bonus points, with a few other exceptions – detailed in the graphic above.

    Berardi +1 for shot outside the box

    Don’t know what it is, but tournament football is always better. Even in a 0-0 like this!

      This game has legit been fun to watch I think. Every player has class in the ball - at least the ones with the ball so far.

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        it feels more like a prem game. intense, tight, physical

    2. Joey Tribbiani
      • 5 Years

      Im so happy right now, this is the serotonin I needed

  3. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 days ago

    The ref more involved than Donnarumma so far

  4. Paqueta Rice

    Yilmaz 😆

    Salah would be proud

  5. Dr. Rog

    The UEFA website is much better than FPL

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      The filtering option on the transfers was a nice addition

    2. Party time
        5 years, 3 days ago

        I don’t think so tbh. Fpl is easier to use. Fixtures below the team page & Home, away stuff right.

        Uefa website says Turkey home when they are actually away. Fpl’s website far better tbh in everything

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Get the feeling a Turkey counter attack is going to win this 1-0.

      1. Letsgo!

        Definitely italy gonna win this

      If this was a Prem game we could have had 5 pens by now.

        Glad we’ve had none to be honest.

    11. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 days ago

      Good decision by VAR. Actual logic used. Could we get them refs in the premier league please?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        Your Milkman would need to find a new club 😉

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 days ago

          Nah he would still get quite a few to be fair but I agree he would have not had at least 4 of last seasons 😆

      Who takes pens for Italy?

        Jorginho

          they should play volleyball instead

      • Deulofail

        Well done double defencers!

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 days ago

          I had treble for quite some time.

      • Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        How many BAPS is Spinazzola on?

        1. TheDragon
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 days ago

          All of them

          1. Paqueta Rice
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 days ago

            😉

      • Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        Dominant from Italy. Turkey have had to chase for much of the game so I expect them to tire 2nd half.

        Italy surely winning this.

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 days ago

          Nothing is guaranteed! They are so compact with 10 behind the ball in the box so they should not tire too much really! Could be a massive against the run of play upset. Italy need to score early in this half because Turkey will grow in confidence the longer this goes on.

        2. ted mcnure
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 3 days ago

          Hope so! Immobile needs to get a shift on!

      • gonzalocampos
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 days ago

        Sorry for the question, just created my team.

        You can change as many players from your bench as you like between games, correct?

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 3 days ago

          You can sub-in as many as you want (up to 4, of course). But once a player has played and you sub them out, you can't sub them back in.

          1. gonzalocampos
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 3 days ago

            Thank you.

        2. Party time
            5 years, 3 days ago

            4 subs max as it’s on your bench & can’t be reversed

            1. gonzalocampos
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 3 days ago

              Cool

          • RogDog_jimmy
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 days ago

            Once you take a player out you can’t bring them back in if they’ve already played. So effectively 4 subs only.

            1. gonzalocampos
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 3 days ago

              Cool

        3. Stranger Mings
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 3 days ago

          I know this has been asked but I am still confused over chip strategy as people seem to be playing both MD2 & 3 rather than waiting?

          1. Paqueta Rice
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 days ago

            Yep. You get the renew your team for the round of 16 o essentially trying to get ahead early

            1. Stranger Mings
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 3 days ago

              Ok thanks I may do both MD2 and MD3 then

          2. RogDog_jimmy
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 days ago

            You get a free WC before knockouts.

            So the options for the 2 chips are
            Before MD2
            Before MD3
            Before round of 8
            before Round of 4 etc

            Most people won’t hold on past round of 8 since the upside is low.

            So 2 chips for effectively 3 MDs

            I’m gambling my knockout team will be strong enough to not need to WC into round of 8 (you get 3 transfers) so I’m using both chips in the group games.

            1. Stranger Mings
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 3 days ago

              Cheers very helpful

        4. Chilli Heatwave
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 days ago

          Only just switched on. Summary please of first half? Who’s looked good?

          1. dark91
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 3 days ago

            Insigne, Immobile both had shots on target. Chiellini as well
            And then Berardi with some random shots
            Turkey mainly defending

            1. dark91
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 3 days ago

              Spinazzola also looked very lively

          2. el polako
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 3 days ago

            2 counter attacks from Turkey.
            3 penalty shouts for Italy.
            Several long shots and overall dominance by Italians.

          3. RogDog_jimmy
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 days ago

            All of Italy’s front 3 look dangerous. They’re making smart diagonal runs and a few times have been close.

            I’m expect one of those to work, maybe with the overlap from the mid/def helping with an assist.

            It’s been fun!

          4. Dash444
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 days ago

            Spinnazola looks very involved. Italy defence totally untroubled. Insigne lively. Italy centre halves getting forward regularly. Turkey gk great save.

          5. Chilli Heatwave
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 3 days ago

            Cheers all

        5. Party time
            5 years, 3 days ago

            Really need that Italy’s clean sheet burned

            1. RogDog_jimmy
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 3 days ago

              I would like that also.
              But not stressed. I think the cheapos will equal the expensive defenders here so the extra money I saved will come in good.

              1. Party time
                  5 years, 3 days ago

                  Well done. I think so too

                  1. Paqueta Rice
                    • 5 Years
                    5 years, 3 days ago

                    I don’t 😉

                    Spinazzola already looks worth the outlay

            2. dark91
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 3 days ago

              Van Basten and Van der Vaart here in the studio on the Dutch National T.V. channel
              Who do you guys have on yours?

              1. Piggs Boson
                • 14 Years
                5 years, 3 days ago

                Nice lineup. We have Lineker, Shearer, Ferdinand, Fabregas. Not bad here either!

                1. el polako
                  • 8 Years
                  5 years, 3 days ago

                  How do you rate as forwards Lineker, Shearer and Van Basten.

                  For me it must be the Dutchman 1st and then Shearer only because Lineker is the most hated English player ever for true Polish fan 😉

                  1. Piggs Boson
                    • 14 Years
                    5 years, 3 days ago

                    Your order sounds right. All were quality forwards.

                    Lineker is loved by me!

                    1. Goro Majima
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 6 Years
                      5 years, 3 days ago

                      Agreed. As a United fan I never liked Shearer but I had plenty of respect for him. Used to get dogs abuse at OT but only because we wanted him to sign for us and he didn't

                2. dark91
                  • 10 Years
                  5 years, 3 days ago

                  Yeah that is a packed one with some nice names
                  Enjoy it 🙂

              2. Party time
                  5 years, 3 days ago

                  Matt Damon & Tom Hardy

                  1. dark91
                    • 10 Years
                    5 years, 3 days ago

                    No Will Smith or Leonardo di Caprio? 😀
                    Is it Mat Damon and Hardy really?

              3. Paqueta Rice
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 3 days ago

                I like the little jingle for the euros

              4. artvandelay316
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 3 days ago

                Jorginho should have taken 3 pens by now!

              5. 272MK
                • 12 Years
                5 years, 3 days ago

                9 shots for Italy. Will Turkey concede? Is this solid defensively Turkey during qualification or the 10 matches after? Not watching the match

                1. RogDog_jimmy
                  • 5 Years
                  5 years, 3 days ago

                  Only really one shot with any venom and it was a header.l from a corner.

                  Italy need to be a bit more aggressive, Turkey not giving them a lot of time to wind up in open play. But I expect Italy to figure it out. 1-0 I reckon.
